Just leave a mouse out of the package laying around in a targeted office. Eventually, someone will need or want the mouse and plug it in for you.

It's less sure and could take a while compared to plugging it in yourself, but it makes the person who gets infected want to keep quiet and even if they figure out where the mouse came from (unlikely), you have plausible deniability.

Comment Re:Can they legally jam cellular traffic? (Score 1) 293

That one's more clearly illegal because the mobile-phone bands are heavily regulated, so you can't transmit on them without a license. The wifi band is unlicensed space, which doesn't mean you can do whatever you want (as relevant here, intentional interference is still not permitted), but there is generally more leeway and violations are less clear-cut.

Comment Re:Fuck Cisco. (Score 3, Interesting) 293

I wonder if Cisco happens to sell a nifty WLAN management console that would let me identify those 'rogue' APs and knock them out, by any chance?

Yes, precisely; Cisco is lobbying in favor of one of their features here. Some of their enterprise-level routers have features with names like "containment" that involve "managing" which wifi signals are available in which locations.

Submission + - #metalgate SJWs prove their real purpose: censorship (deathmetal.org)

hessian writes: Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) comprise the driving force behind the incursion into metal against which #metalgate is a reaction. Metalheads do not want to be told what to think by a self-appointed cabal determining what is “true” based on their ideological agenda. It does not matter which agenda that is, only that it swallows up truth and metal equally and uses them as means toward its real goal, which is power and control.
